All Partied Out

Since this past Thursday, I've made 5 small cakes, 48 cupcakes, 24 easter birds nest (chow mein and chocolate dessert), a crazy good Giada dessert, and used 7 containers of icing. I'm pretty much all baked out--and all partied out too! It has been a wonderful weekend and everything went absolutely smoothly. But, I am also very relieved that today, I'm officially done thinking about birthdays until September! Below is the picture of the cupcakes I made for Elle's class today. I was informed late last night by Elle that "All the other parents bring their kids cupcakes to eat during recess, right after lunch." Mind you, I hosted Bunco at my house last night, which meant their was no way I could get to the store last night and make them. Also note that I am babysitting a sweet 5 week old every day this week from around 7:30-4:30. So, I just put on a happy face and headed to the store as soon as I dropped Elle off at school today and made 24 cupcakes faster than I've ever made cupcakes and had them at her school by 11:15 this morning. And...it was totally worth the effort to see a sweet little 8 year old smile! (as well as all the other kids in her class who I thought were going to have a nervous breakdown when they saw the cupcakes!) Tonite, we are taking her to Super Salad and a yogurt place we've never been. And then...we, meaning I, shall pass out from over-partying it!
